hi simon,
hmmm, perhaps a CF 10" would be a safer option on the neq6 pro? however the 8" newt NEQ6 combo is still very capable. I think you would be better off spending your money on upgrading to a cooled camera (whether it be OSC or mono) and an OAG... not sure what else you have accessory wise but even a motorised moonlite focuser etc are probably better $ spent - unless of course you are thinking more in terms of planetary imaging then the extra resolution would be handy but i'm not sure how the NEQ6 would handle a 12" I have seen them go ok with 10" carbon fibre newts.
russ
cheers
